Unfortunately I’ve been ill recently so haven’t kept up to your thread. Well done this is a credit to you, it would of been so easy to just bin the truck. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your progress.

Well managed to get the piano hinge on the storage compartment just one last bit left and it’s ready to use just need some black carpet and something good to stick it with so it never comes off. As most may of guessed I’m not much of a talker I just like pictures to explain most of what I’m doing

Me too[emoji23] haha I’m kind of rushing it a bit as I’ve got a busy week at work and we’re away camping on Friday so needs to be useable I won’t have chance to do the carpet but it should still function well.
I’m planning on making something to go on the back door too not sure how at the min. Also has anyone done anything so you can open the back door from the inside.

I think that was another Nissan cost cutting exercise, as my 1999 one has the ability to open the door from the inside, and also to lock the door from the inside as well, where as Suz's 2001 doesn't have it.

I have never looked, but maybe the lever is still on the lock to do it.

I think Jim has investigated this and the mechanism is still there, just needs digging out and a new way of operating to be sorted out.

 

[Rarche2002]

Which one of these fits mine??

I’ve took the door card off and I can reach in and open it from the inside but it’s not exactly easy I will take pictures tomorrow to show you what I mean.

It’s do able and I bought all the bits just not had chance to do it yet. The tailgates are indentical in the late and early models or at least only minor differences. The earlier trucks have the interior handle but the inner trim is shaped around the window where the later models aren’t shaped. The latch mechanism is different but is interchangeable. Basically fit the earlier latch and you’ll have the extra push rod which releases it. I was thinking about a push button and a solenoid to open the tailgate from inside so that the interior panel wouldn’t need butchering.

 

[Rarche2002]

Well my interior panel is getting butchered anyways so that’s fine [emoji23]

that’s the latch in question just can’t think how to make it moveable from the inside

Has anyone got a exhaust I need the first bit off the turbo could really do with the full thing but need it cheap as possible as I’m on a very tight budget for this motor.

I have an new unused front down pipe for a LWB in the rafters in the garage but looking at the price of new ones you'd be better off grabbing one of those :nenau
